When you have more than what you need, share.

This is probably what the big businesses in the country have been thinking. We are grateful for the incoming blessings for our frontliners and kababayans in help.

Another institution who has helped in our rally against COVID-19 is Bloombery Cultural Foundation Inc. (BCFI). BCFI is the Corporate Social Responsibility arm of Solaire Resort & Casino and they will be donating P60 million worth of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and N95 masks to the Department of Health late next week.

BCFI has also applied with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the permits needed to secure the 3 testing kits from South Korea and China that they will be donating.

Let us help BCFI by praying for these permits to be released because as per Solaire:

“As soon as the clearances and permits are issued, BCFI shall procure 100,000 test kits to augment the much needed supply of the government for testing COVID-19.”

We would also like to encourage everyone to join with the government in this combat against COVID-19. Let us stay at home, sew masks if you can, produce makeshift PPE’s or face shields, and pray. These micro efforts of ours could make a macro effect to the whole nation.

Dubai’s Burj Khalifa displays ‘Stay Home’ message amid CoVID-19 spread

1Burj Khalifa covid19 stay home

Staying at home shouldn’t be a choice, it should be a necessary demand for the public.

With the upsurge of the positive cases of COVID-19 around the globe, the only way to straighten the curb is to stay at home. The government has been strengthening their campaigns to encourage the public to stay in their respective homes and some private companies have also done the same.

One good example is the world’s tallest skyscraper, Burj Khalifa. The skyscraper encouraged the residents of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) by litting up the skscyraper with the message “STAY HOME” flashed in different languages.

On March 23, not only the residents of UAE were inspired to stay in their humble abodes, but also the people who have seen the photos circulating online. Hence, if you just learned of this now, it’s high time that you take staying at home on a serious note.

Prince of Dubai, Hh Sheikh bin Mohammed Al Maktoum, has issued a message for the people in the UAE, saying:

“The only way to guarantee that we safeguard the well-being of our loved ones is to act now, together and without exceptions. Stay Home. Social Distancing is NOT a matter of choice. it is a critical DEMAND from every one of us, in order for our city and our society to remain safe.”

We’re hoping that as Cebuanos, we will also be inspired to take a cue on this step to always STAY AT HOME unless we have important business to attend to. Let us help our frontliners combat this pandemic. Let’s make their jobs a little bit easier. We can do this. We know we can.

The novel coronavirus (CoVID-19) knows no position, no blood, no race, no age, no gender, and no boundary. Even royalties cannot escape from this global pandemic.

On the other hand, Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, has been tested negative. Charles and Camilla are now self-isolating at home in Scotland.

Prince Charles’ mother, Queen Elizabeth II who he saw last March 12, is seen to be in good health according to the Buckingham palace.

The palace also added that the Queen was now “following all the appropriate advice with regard to her welfare”.

People from all walks of life all over the world are being infected by the virus. We all need to cooperate and keep everyone safe. We are all in this fight against the unseen enemy. Stay at home and be vigilant. Show kindness and generosity, the world needs it.

To someone who loves sneakers and milktea, this is definitely a must-have.

Brace yourselves for Vans’ new collection – Vans Old Skool sneakers in milk tea-inspired colours. If you’re into nude shades, this has got to be on your list. Take your pick from “Gentle Cream”, “Hazelnut” and “Smoked Milk Tea”.

The colors look chic and the names sound cute. How awesome would it be telling the saleslady/man, “Uhm. Miss, do you have a size of these ‘Gentle Cream’ vans?”

To the minimalists, this is something one would love. Plus, these colors are just wearable as the colors black and white. Did you also know that wearing nude-footwear would make you taller? If not, then, you really got to score this.

Vans is revealing the simple color palette with a crisp and clean whit sole and a sleek black wrap around. I couldn’t wait to get my hands on these babies, but they can wait. I’m doing a home-quarantine and the best thing I could do is pray and spread more good news like this.

Vegetable Seeds Baguio COVID-19 (1)

“You give a man a fish, you feed him for a day. You teach a man how to fish, you feed him for his life.”

True enough, with Luzon being placed on an Enhanced Community Quarantine, the Baguio Veterinary Office – Agricultural Services Division (BCVO-ASD) has chosen the latter. They have repacked different kinds for the different barangays in Baguio so they could grow their own “survival gardens.”

With the rising positive cases of CoVID-19, going to the wet market for fresh produce could give you quite a scare. But, to have a strong immune system, one needs to be eating vegetables. How to do it? Grow your own lush gardens from these seeds.

The residents of Baguio are quite lucky to have been given the assurance of food security in this time of uncertainty. May everyone do the same. Let’s eat healthy and be healthy.

Cebuano memes surely never disappoint.

When it comes to Cebuano social media behavior, Cebuanos have proven that humor could really persist even in serious times. With the threat of Corona Virus and travel bans, Cebuanos have found a way to lighten up the mood online and have shown the world that amidst chaos, you can still have ‘pun’ in Cebu.

With a combination of creativity, wit, and sarcasm (nevermind the editing skills), you can count on Cebuanos to put fun in everything. Let’s not forget that these puns were only based on one photo.

Here is a compilation of Cebuano memes that have been spreading on the internet like wildfire.

I cannot stress any further how critical internet connectivity is in this crisis the world is facing today.

With this, Globe has doubled the data allowance of its best-selling prepaid promo, the GoSurf50, to help its subscribers stay connected most especially during this time.

The GoSurf50 now comes with 2GB mobile data (from 1GB) + free 1GB per day for choice of app bundle (GoWATCH & Play, GoSHARE & SHOP or GoLIVE & DISCOVER) + Free 1GB GoWiFi + Unlimited texts to all networks — all these for only ₱50, valid for 3 days.

1Free Bus Rides Cebu City

With the scarcity of public utility vehicles, going from one place to the other could be the hardest daily routine, especially for the Cebuano modern heroes

However, Cebu City Mayor Edgar Labella has a solution to this dilemma – FREE BUS RIDES. Yes, the Cebu City government will be providing free buses for Cebuanos who would be taking these routes:

  • City Hall to Bulacao (via N. Bacalso, P. Del Rosario, Imus, Tejero, and vice-versa)
  • City Hall to Bulacao (via N. Bacalso, P. Del Rosario, Day-as, Sikatuna, vice-versa)
  • City Hall to Bulacao (via N. Bacalso, Junquera, Colon, Parian, and vice-versa)
  • City Hall to Cogon Pardo (via Tagunol Rd., C. Padilla, Colon, Parian, and vice-versa)
  • City Hall to Guadalupe (via Osmeña Blvd. and vice-versa)
  • City Hall to Guadalupe (via V. Rama and versa)
  • City Hall to Inayawan (via N. Bacalso and versa)

You will get the chance to score the free bus ride of the Cebu City government from 6AM to 10AM  and from 5PM to 9PM.

Because we are currently practicing social distancing, only 25 passengers are allowed to embark on the bus.

Ride Hero App

If you think that’s the best thing about everything, wait until you download Ride Hero.

Ride Hero, through their Chief Executive Officer, Michael Cubos and mobile application developer Brian Muller, joined Mayor Labella in the drive to help the Cebuank commuters.

Once you download the Ride Hero app, you will be able to trace the location of the bus and their time of arrival as well as the capacity of the buses.

As of writing, the Cebu City government has already deployed 13 buses. We’re wishing for more buses so we could strengthen the social distancing especially during commute.

The immediate responses and help from different countries to the Philippines is overwhelming.

Another country has expressed their interest to help our nation with our combat against COVID-19. Singapore, being an Asian country, will be donating 3,000 COVID-19 test kits to the Philippines. In addition to the 3,000 kits, Singapore will also be donating a machine for the detection of the virus.

According to Foreign Affairs Secretary Teodoro Locsin, Jr., though the arrival of the test kits and machine are yet to be announced, he is already beyond grateful for these donations.

He added that he has yet to send a memo to President Duterte about it. Even before this, China and South Korea have already donated to the Philippines.

This trying time has made us realize how important it is if we all support one another. May more countries come to help other nations to rise from the ashes.

Pets on Quarantine, too? Vet Offers Free Online Consultation For Your Furbabies!

veterinary free online consultation

The world is in utter chaos right now due to the Coronavirus. Almost everyone is on quarantine in their own homes, and many businesses and services have already closed.

Even veterinary offices are closing down. Humans have their hospitals who can treat them when they are sick and down, but what about the pets? They really have it “ruff”. Thankfully, there is a hero online offering his services for the poor furbabies in our homes.

Meet Dr. Mann Cyron E. Sarmiento, a noble veterinarian answering his call of helping out the sick to our friends with fur, feathers, and everything in between. He has opened up his Twitter and Facebook accounts to accommodating various “pawrents” who are concerned about their “pupperinos”.

However, do take note that Dr. Sarmiento aims to help people determine whether your concern is an emergency or not. If your pet clearly needs immediate and urgent medical help, do not hesitate to bring it to a vet office that accepts emergency cases.

“This idea stems from the medical community as we also started ‘online inquiries’ for medical concerns. This is to lessen the movement of people and lessen ER consults. Again, the whole purpose is to triage patients,”

– Dr. Sarmiento

The doctor also tweeted out that in case it isn’t an emergency, his advice only involves wound cleaning, pet hydration, proper feeding, etc. So, if you have a question about your furbaby which you are unsure if it would need serious help, send a DM on his way. He entertains questions until 12 midnight. Remember, stay safe and keep your pets safe too.
